Moreover, it was noted that the view that State responsibility obligations were based on fault was wholly exceptional: the general approach of tribunals in applying principles of State responsibility, was to apply the principle of “objective responsibility” which was in reality very close to the concept of “strict liability” at least as understood at common law.
Se señaló además que la opinión de que la responsabilidad del Estado por hechos internacionalmente ilícitos se basaba en la culpa era totalmente excepcional: el criterio general de los tribunales al aplicar los principios de la responsabilidad del Estado por hechos internacionalmente ilícitos (State responsibility) se basaba en el principio de la "responsabilidad objetiva", que, en realidad, era un concepto muy próximo al de "responsabilidad causal", por lo menos tal como se entendía en common law.
